Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protease inhibitors (PIs) recently have been reported to be active againstPneumocystis cariniiin cell culture. Twelve anti-HIV drugs were analyzed for their effects against ratP. cariniiby an ATP cytotoxicity assay. Indinavir and saquinavir exhibited slight anti–P. cariniiactivity at concentrations above those that can be clinically achieved in serum; other PIs and nucleoside and nonnucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors were inactive against the organism. Anti-HIV drugs, alone or in combination, did not materially reduce the organism count in the treatment ofP. cariniipneumonia in immunosuppressed mice. Thus, anti-HIV drugs have little or no activity againstP. cariniiin these in vitro and in vivo systems. Caution should be used when interpreting reports of the susceptibility ofP. cariniito anti-HIV drugs on the basis of in vitro testing only
